About this listen
Passion and scandal collide in New York Times best-selling author Julia London's brand-new series about four sisters determined to rescue themselves from ruin....
Desperate times call for daring measures as Honor Cabot, the eldest stepdaughter of the wealthy Earl of Beckington, awaits her family's ruin. Upon the earl's death she and her sisters stand to lose the luxury of their grand home - and their place on the pedestal of society - to their stepbrother and his social-climbing fiancée. Forced to act quickly, Honor makes a devil's bargain with the only rogue in London who can seduce her stepbrother's fiancée out of the Cabots' lives for good.
An illegitimate son of a duke, George Easton was born of scandal and grows his fortune through dangerous risks. But now he and Honor are dabbling in a perilous dance of seduction that puts her reputation and his jaded heart on the line. And as unexpected desire threatens to change the rules of their secret game, the stakes may become too high even for a notorious gambler and a determined, free-spirited debutante to handle.

If I am, I've yet to understand why I would or should...
She's ridiculously unlikeable.... she's arrogant, entitled, self-absorbed, unkind & quite nasty.
At the moment, it's seeming a bit like dangerous liaisons & nobody likes the Marquise, because she's cruel, calculating & wishes to ruin others for her own amusement... which is what this heroine is doing!
She keeps antagonising her stepbrother's fiancée & expecting that the fiancée simply takes her BS & shs takes umbrage that the fiancée might send HER (not the rest of the family) off to live in another one of the family's properties, but it isn't London... so naturally the heroine doesn't like it, she must be in London!
& even if the fiancée did send the rest of the family off, they'd still have a roof over their head & no doubt a stipend, which is all that women could ask for in those days...
She doesn't wish to marry because she's an independent woman 🙄, who's unwilling & hasn't even contemplated working for a living, so she's trying to break off her brother's engagement, so she can continue living in the luxury that she's become accustomed to (i.e. her STEP-father's money)...
This book is all over the place & it's far too long for such a witless premise.
Firstly, there's no clear motivation for the hero to do her bidding... he doesn't NEED the £92, he's doing it because he finds the heroine attractive & what kind of a shallow, paper thin motivation is that?!
secondly, the heroine claims she doesn't need a man, so that's why she doesn't want to marry & is trying to split her brother & his fiancée up... yet, she seems to overlook the fact, that depending on her stepfather & then her stepbrother IS depending on a man 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Not only that, but she's selfishly (because her brother IS happy & seems to care for his fiancée) ruining his betrothal because she can't be bothered to get married... so no one else can?!?! 🤔
Even if she succeeds in breaking them up... is her stepbrother meant to stay single forever so that she can keep spending his money willy-nilly?!
So she can keep creating scandals for her own amusement without regard for how it affects others, especially her sister's?!
Seriously... WHY would I root for such a self-centred heroine?!?
DNF
